Our rates are inclusive of all fees and surcharges for a city of Charlottesville pick up. If you are being picked up outside of Charlottesville a surcharge will be added by one of our team members based on your exact location. Ask us if you have questions about your location. The outside of Charlottesville surcharge is applied after your reservation is made. Due to ABC regulations we are not allowed to pay for tasting fees. Those fees must be paid directly to the wineries.

Cancellations must be made 2 months in advance unless otherwise requested and noted. Full balance is due if cancellation is made within 2 months of tour. If you cancel within 2 months of your tour we will attempt to rebook your vehicle and tour and if we are able we will issue you a refund. If you cancel within two months and we are not able to rebook your tour then you are responsible for the entire bill.

The Team

Andrea Saathoff

CEO

After touring the burgeoning Monticello Wine Trail with my daughter in 2009, I knew the Albemarle Limousine Team could extend its highly acclaimed services. Crafting the original Charlottesville Wine Tour was an exhilarating experience and we are glad to share our love of Virginia wine with all of our guests.

Eric Bryant

Sales Manager

Having been a part of Blue Ridge Wine Excursions since its inception, I have loved watching the Virginia wine industry excel. I am proud to be a part of a team that thrives on being ambassadors to this exciting and celebratory 'happening' in Charlottesville.

Andy Josselyn

Tour Development

After managing the Canary Press in Australia, Andy moved to Charlottesville where he instantly fell in love with its milieu. Like a wineries terroir, it is Andy's firm belief that everything is a product of its environment, and he wanted to be a part of Charlottesville's. His love of Charlottesville wineries is apparent in every tour he crafts.
